Methods to Leading Power Factor: We have seen that a phase controlled converter requires reactive power for control and commutation. The harmonics do not contribute to the active power loading but they contribute to the…
Three Phase Drives: Single phase drives discussed in the previous section are employed for low and medium powers. When the power of the drive is very large the three-phase converter is preferred for supplying the…
Single Phase DC Series Motor Drives: In the Single Phase DC Series Motor Drives the field is connected in series with the armature. The field current is the same as the armature current. The schematic…
Single Phase Separately Excited DC Motor Drives: The circuit arrangement of a Single Phase Separately Excited DC Motor Drives Drives fed from a single phase controlled converter is shown in Fig. 4.56. The block 1…
Commutation in DC Motor: Commutation and commutator wear and tear of the dc motor must be given due consideration when the motor operates on solid state converters. Spark-less commutation must be aimed at. The reactance…
Performance of DC Motors Operating on Phase Controlled Converters: The nature of the output voltage and output current of a phase controlled converters impains the performance of the dc motor operating on these conÂverters. The…
Torque Equation of DC Motor: When dc voltage is applied to the armature of a dc motor with its field excited by dc, a torque is developed and the armature rotates. It accelerates to a…
Starting Methods of Synchronous Motor for LCI: It has been pointed out that a Starting Methods of Synchronous Motor for LCI, even though complicated in its construction, has an advantage that it can provide the…
Current Source Inverter with Forced Commutation: Current Source Inverter with Forced Commutation - As has already been discussed, the disadvantages of machine commutation are (a) limitation on the speed range (b) the machine size is…
Current Source Inverter Fed Synchronous Motor Drive: A synchronous motor draws a stator current which is independent of stator frequency when V/f and E/f are maintained constant and armature resistance is neglected. The motor also…
